Abstract
- The emerging field of liquid biopsy has garnered significant interest in precision diagnostics, offering a non-invasive and repetitive method for analyzing bodily fluids to procure real-time diagnostic data. The precision and accuracy offered by the clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)/CRISPR-associated protein (CRISPR/Cas) technology have advanced and broadened the applications of liquid biopsy. Significantly, when combined with swiftly advancing nanotechnology, CRISPR/Cas-mediated nanodevices show vast potential in precise liquid biopsy applications. However, persistent challenges are still associated with off-target effects, and the current platforms also constrain the performance of the assays. In this review, we highlight the merits of CRISPR/Cas systems in liquid biopsy, tracing the development of CRISPR/Cas systems and their current applications in disease diagnosis particularly in liquid biopsies. We also outline ongoing efforts to design nanoscale devices with improved sensing and readout capabilities, aiming to enhance the performance of CRISPR/Cas detectors in liquid biopsy. Finally, we identify the critical obstacles hindering the widespread adoption of CRISPR/Cas liquid biopsy and explore potential solutions. This feature article presents a comprehensive overview of CRISPR/Cas-mediated liquid biopsies, emphasizing the progress in integrating nanodevices to improve specificity and sensitivity. It also sheds light on future research directions in employing nanodevices for CRISPR/Cas-based liquid biopsies in the realm of precision medicine. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
